Audubon International’s Green Lodging Program Partners with Clean the World
Audubon International's Green Lodging Program joins forces with soap-recycling nonprofit Clean the World to protect the environment and help save lives.
Troy, NY, August 07, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Audubon International is pleased to announce it has partnered with Clean the World, a non-profit organization that recycles soap and bottled amenities from the hospitality industry and distributes them in needed areas throughout the world. Audubon International is offering a 10 percent discount on its Green Lodging Program annual membership fee for hospitality properties enrolled in the Clean the World program.
“Environmental quality and human health are inherently linked in the context of global sustainability,” said Ryan Aylesworth, President and CEO of Audubon International. “Our organization has a long history of collaborating with diverse partners to advance environmental stewardship and address important social and economic issues that impact communities across the world. This new partnership between Audubon International and Clean the World will help both organizations better meet their missions by enabling participating lodging facilities to implement environmentally responsible practices and simultaneously help improve human health.”
In addition to offering the 10 percent discount on annual membership, Green Lodging Program members gain points toward certification when they participate in a soap recycling program such as Clean the World.
“Sustainability efforts are a top priority in the hospitality industry, where operators want to continually evolve and improve environmental performance,” said Shawn Seipler, Founder and CEO of Clean the World. “Our 2,000 hospitality partners are committed to conservation and waste reduction. Assessment and verification by Audubon International’s Green Lodging Program will provide them with a roadmap to further improve their green initiatives while reducing overhead.”
